I've tried to line up the chords as best as possible, as always, listen to the
song for best comparison. I'm sure this is right, then again, I have just spent an
hour I should've spent in bed working this out. I've actually worked out a lot of
the new album, will likely add them soon. The lyrics are makeshift, based on what
I could decipher, will update when the album comes out :D Enjoy! Sounds best
played on open chords!
Intro
G D B G
G D B Em
G D B G
G B
GVeDrse
AmThrough the rainE and all the clatter
GUnder the FrGemont briDdge I saw a pigeon fly
AmFly in fear frGom the raptor cGome to take its liEfe
AmAnd as it closed Ein for the capture
GI funnGelled the fDear through my ancient eyes
AmTo see in flightG, what I know are
The bGitter mechanics of liEfe
GUnder my hDat it reads "theB lines are allG imagined"
GA fact of liDfe I know to hBide from my little gEmirls
GI know my plDace amongst the bBugs and all the anGimals
GAnd it's from these ordBinary people
You are longGing to be freDe
AmMy hotel anEd on the TV
GA preGacher on theD stage like a buzzard cries
AmOur a warning oGf phony sorrow. He's trGying to get a riEse.
AmThe cyanide Eof an almond
GLet him lGook at your haDnds, get the angles right
AmAce of spades, PoGrt of Morrow, lGife is death is lifEe.
GI saw a photDograph; ColBogne in ‘G27
GAnd then a pDostcard after theB bombs inEm ‘45
GMust have been a wDorld of evil cBlowns that let it haGppen
GBut now I recBognise, dear listeners,
That you were tGhere and so was DI
Instrumental break
Am G
Am G E
Am G G E
(whole break x2)
GUnder my hDat I know the liBnes are all imGagined
GA fact of liDfe I must imprBess on my little girEmls
GI know my plDace amongst the cBreatures in the paGgeant
GAnd there are floBwers in the garbage
And a skuGll under your cuDrls
Instrumental break
Am G
Am G E
Am G G E
Repeat instrumental break until fade.
Note: I initially had the verse second part of the verse chords as
AmAce of spades, PoErt of Morrow, lGife is death is lifEe.
for example, with another A in place of the F. It sounded right to me, but I went
by the bass and used an F, part of me is still unsure about it.
